Great Minds Think Alike!

For many years we have been exchanging gifts with some funtastic friends. But never in the 23 or more years has this happened. Our friend brought us a nice package of crackers, a cheeseball and a very cute plate to put it on. I just about bust a gut when we opened it because..... that is exactly the same thing we gave them and our other friends. The only differecne is the cheeseball is a block of cream cheese and you pour the Crannpeno jelly over it and serve it with crackers. When I called to thank her she was just a laughing as were I. She said, "We must of got the plates at the same place" and I replied "Yah, at Ross a couple months ago". Don't you just love that store for stuff like this? Then she said as she was laughing, "My didn't come with pedastals though. Then I had to tell her that I had added it with my trusty tube of E6000! "Well aren't you smart," she said. We had a good conversastion about the other couples that we had just delivered gifts to. I'm sure they got a real laugh out of it to. So I hope our friends our enjoying their high and low plates. All the more fun when entertaining.

About Me

My hands are always busy, this has led to many crafty endevers, interior design, paper crafting, or sewing, but my favorite obsession is quilting and making bags. You can just call me an "Old Bag"! My husband, Stuart and I are empty nesters who like to travel in our 5th wheel trailer and spoil our three kids, two son-in-laws, one daughter-in-law and five darling grandkids. (if there's any money leftover from buying fabric!)
I work at Corn Wagon Quilts in Springville, Utah. The perfect job for me. I teach quilt and bag classes for the Corn Wagon and Dave's Bernina in Provo and St. George, Utah. It's a good thing we don't have to live off what money I make, 'cause you know it has to buy fabric! Glad you stopped by, pull up a chair, a diet coke, chocolate and lets get accquainted.

"The desire tocreate is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish tocreate something that did not exist before .... creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty ..."

This is my husband Stuart. This is who I share my nest with. He likes the outdoors, hunting, guns, and ME! He is a wonderful cook (am I lucky or what?) He is a fun, kind and loving father and grandpa. I'm so blessed to have in my life.
